RED SEA: A cargo ship came under attack from unknown armed assailants on Sunday, 30 nautical miles south-west of the Yemeni city of Hodeida, the British military said. A skiff approached the bulk carrier and opened fire, forcing security guards to return fire, before sailing back to a larger ship about two nautical miles away with its automatic identification system switched off, the British military said. The cargo ship and crew were reported safe.
